The Heirs

Ages ago

  The cold breeze slowly swept his blonde hair to his face as he stood before the helicopter.
  "This is where it all began and I'm back grandpa for what is rightfully mine", said a man in his late thirties with a thick Australian accent.
  "Good morning sir Ambrose", said a man in Black suit as he bow his head in respect.
An ominous silence followed as Ambrose took off his black shade revealing a huge scar around his left eye, it was so scary that none of the men standing could dare to look him in the eyes.
"Let's get this party started shall we?", said Ambrose straightening his collar while the men smartly followed him.
  "It's been so long Abraham", Ambrose said as he smiled to himself staring at a picture of his family ,the Raphaels on his phone.
Fifty years ago
The news about the inauguration of the new chairman of Raphael Enterprise shook the world most especially Australia as a country. Despite the rumors and scandals regarding the prince charming of the nation Ryan Raphael, the eldest son of Abraham Raphael, David Raphael has been chosen to be the new chairman at the very young age of nineteen . It seems Ryan Raphael,our ladies heart throb has been dethroned.
Twenty Eight years later
More like a royal wedding was the union of the children of the two largest CEOs of the world, Steven Raphael ,the only son of David Raphael ,has finally found his other half in Joe Jackson the beautiful daughter of Paul  Jackson the owner of the richest company in Canada. What a match made in heaven!.
Present day  
Stepping outside looking for Adrian in the garden reminded me of the terrible past I had , everything could have been alright if he had never showed up, I never thought I would ever fall in love with someone until I met Harry, he broke me in the worst way possible and seeing Adrian smoke the cigarette got my nerves twisted , I wanted one , just one more fix.
The sudden breeze and his husky voice broke me out of the trance I never knew I was in as the reality clicked before me telling me that girl was gone,the girl who needed another fix to survive, the girl who on multiple occasions would cut herself ,she was dead but the girl whose screams always taunted me at night or the one whose hand held a knife stained with a deep red liquid standing over her boyfriend's body ,oh that girl was hiding somewhere deep inside of me , she couldn't have gone if not for Richard . I had met Richard three years ago at my psychiatrist appointment which I was forced to attend by my parents who believed it was high time I kept dying. He would never recognize me due to the way the old me looked like,I was this obbese twenty year old lady who was a drug addict and sucidal, each day at the session was spent hating myself,hating Harry but after I saw Richard I felt this strange feeling towards him whenever he spoke to me,his presence pulled me out of my self - loath,he made me face my fears and I was able to overcome them and in the end he left since he felt better and due to his excessive work demand ,I never knew much about his reason for attending seeing a psychiatrist all I knew was that he lost his loved ones and he was trying to get over it. And that was how I met Richard until I finally got the courage to see him and I can't help but to keep loving him because I never stopped.
Too many lies shattered my dreams of us being together, I used a fake identify during my treatment with the psychiatrist so there was no way he could ever remember that the mentally unstable lady he met then who became his friend was me ,Cinthia Harrison.
Enough of thinking about the past, I have changed now.
"If Richard wasn't enough you chose my Adrian to seduce,you money lover", said a female voice behind me.
  Really Pricilia
To my utmost disbelief,it was not my annoying sister but Claire.
"Don't play innocent, Cinthia I have seen a lot of women like you, you think you are so smart playing the perfect daughter - inlaw you even made that sick James choose you to marry Adrian so let me make this loud and clear I don't share my man so you better leave the Anderson family and take your greedy family with you or else I'm not going to be very nice", said Claire stepping closer to me.
"I don't listen to the battering of an insecure lady by the way Claire you can keep Adrian to yourself, he's totally all yours, I'm not even interested in him so don't let your insecurity ruin what you have going on with Adrian the guy is all over the moon for you", I replied staring into her eyes where I could see the mix of anger, disbelief and a bit of joy.
Who's this woman kidding,she really accused me of being a money lover.
" You are lying, you want their money don't you", said Claire angrily.
"Oh not again",I mentally face palmed my head as I couldn't help but to shake my head at her,"I don't want their money or their sons,so please will you stop accusing me ",I said then I wanted to walk away.
"I can't stand you anymore, just leave", said Claire
"I feel like I mistook you for a really nice woman , now I wonder what Adrian sees in you that the guy never ceases to talk about you or be with you", I questioned smirking as I watched the color drain from her face .
  Seeing that I have accomplished this,I made it important that I get out of the offensive thousand dollar perfume she wore , it was suffocating!
"Wait",Claire called
I stopped walking and turned to face her
"If not Adrian, you love Richard right", asked Claire
Before I could respond,the flashing light surrounding us blinded me for a moment as I suddenly became more aware of what was going on.
  Reporters
"Miss Harrison , is it true that Mr James Anderson is in the building", said a man shoving the microphone in front of me.
The flashlights, the flashlights , everything seemed so unreal as I froze , I felt an anxiety attack on its way as I tried blocking away the numerous voices I was hearing as my heart beat increased.
"Miss Jacob ,is it true Mr Anderson has  brain cancer",asked a lady as the reporters kept questioning us.
Placing my hands on my ears made them inaudible as the last scenario I experienced with reporters three years ago flashed before me as I shut my eyes telling them to stop.
They were so many , they wouldn't shut up as they attacked us.
Claire kind of lost her temperance as she told them James was in surgery that they should stop this even her looked scared and confused as she kept trying to run into the hospital.
"Miss Harrison..."
Please stop
"Miss Harrison, are you truly behind the attempted murder of Mr Harry Grayson"
"Miss Harrison ,were you truly raped by your own boyfriend",
"You are doing this for his money,you are trying to ruin the Grayson's image by falsely accusing your boyfriend for rape",
Old and dead voices kept repeating themselves in my ears as I tried to breathe .
Mum , I can't breathe
I felt so weak in the knees as I felt myself crashing down but a pair of hands was wrapped around my waist before I could lose consciousness
